Rashtrapatni Remark: Congress Always Indulged In Vote Bank Politics, Alleges CM Dhami

Mumbai: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday reacted to Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s “presidential” remark for President Draupadi Murmu, saying the Congress has always indulged in “vote bank politics”.

“The statement of Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury reflects the mindset of Congress. They have always considered the tribal community only their vote bank. They have always indulged in vote bank politics,” CM Dhami said in a conversation with ANI. Also Read: Congress Maliciously Targeting President: Irani On Adhir’s ‘Rashtrapatni’ Remark

“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the entire National Democratic Alliance (NDA) nominated her for the Presidential election and she is the President of India today. Adhir Ranjan’s words reflect that Congress is unable to digest it,” he added.

Women MPs of the BJP have filed a complaint with the Lok Sabha Speaker against Sonia Gandhi, who allegedly shouted at Smriti Irani after the intervention of the Union Minister as the interim Congress President was talking to BJP MP Rama Devi.

The incident took place after the lower house was adjourned amid scathing sloganeering by the BJP against Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury. As a result of uproar between political parties in Parliament since the monsoon session began on 18 July, both the houses are facing adjournments on various issues.

In Lok Sabha, Union Minister Smriti Irani said the Congress should apologise in Parliament, and on the streets of India, to every citizen of India. IN Rajya Sabha, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said this was a deliberate, sexist insult to the President of India.
